“The Kanso 106 - our goldilocks ski - meant to be the most fun and playful everyday charger that won't say no.

A compliant flex that noodles through bumps, a short turn radius for leaving trenches in groomers, and a rocker profile that’ll crush pow, chop, and whatever is in front of you.

Why: The Kanso 106 is the most playful and versatile ski in our lineup. Built to be effortlessly fun anywhere you take it. Whether you’re carving groomers, popping through moguls, slashing wind lips, or hunting stashes… It just works. It’s that rare one-ski quiver that adapts to your style, floats when it’s deep, grips when it’s firm, and always keeps the vibe high. Think less, ski more.

How: We gave the Kanso a full poplar wood core for a lively, energetic feel that stays composed at speed but never feels overly demanding. Polyurethane sidewalls and tip-fill soak up vibration and protect against impact, while the progressive rocker profile keeps the ski playful and intuitive across changing terrain. A softer flex and tighter turn radius make it easy to engage, fast to pivot, and exceedingly capable whether you’re in the trees, on edge, or launching features. And with full-height edges and 4001 sintered bases, it’s built to take a beating and stay fast doing it.

What: This is the ski you grab when you don’t know what the day holds—but know you want to have a damn good time. Playful, powerful, and versatile, the Kanso 106 is ready for anything.

‘Kanso’ is the Japanese principle of simplicity. Stripping away the excess to let what matters shine through. It’s clarity, flow, and effortless performance; just like this ski.”
